Paying back medicaid

What is the name of your state? TX
Me and my gf have been together 5 years and we have 2 kids together and just recently i was served with an order to apear for a child support hearing. My girlfriend is not the one who requested and and is going to tell them that she doesnt want me to pay but anyways now on to my question.l over the past 3 or so years she has had my kids on mediaid and i guess she was telling the medicaid office that i wasnt paying her any money and that we werent together, so does this mean I have to pay back medicaid for taking care of my kids even tho me and my baby's mother are togetherand i more then likely wont be ordered to pay child support? I mean come oni was paying all the expenses arond the house(food diapers clothes etc) And would i get my girlfriend in trouble if i told the ruth?

Yes, you will be required to pay back medicaid. She can get into trouble for lying to Family Services when she applied since she apparently did not tell them that you were a household member, or that you were giving her money. She also signed an application stating that.

I mean come oni was paying all the expenses arond the house.

So, are you saying that the taxpayers should continue to pay for your children's medical bills?

I would like my money back, thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haiku and OG: I think we were all going under the ASSumption that 1. he is the daddy 2. she didn't tell DFS that he is a household member and that he is paying. However, YOU are correct about the medical not having to be repaid. I didn't even pay attention to that. Yes, generally, only cash assistance is repayable. I will say that I was venthing about the nerve/gall/baseballs of this person, and didn't look strictly at the facts. I apologize.
